'Success story' Will Trenholm earns new multi-year Gloucester deal

Gloucester back-rower Will Trenholm has committed his future to the Cherry & Whites, signing a contract extension at Kingsholm until 2029.

Trenholm joined Gloucester from his boyhood club, Harlequins, in the summer of 2025 and and has played an important role in the club’s renaissance.

The 25-year-old said: “I owe a lot to Gloucester Rugby. They took a chance on me, and I try to repay that every time I step onto the field.

“I’ve grown so much as both a player and a person since coming here. Moving away from everything I’d ever known, settling in the West Country, making new friends and being pushed every day by coaches who believe in me and in what this group can achieve has been massive for my development.

“Playing at Kingsholm is pretty special. I savour every moment I get out on that pitch in front of our fans, and I’d like to think that comes across in the way I play.”

Head Coach, George Skivington, added: “Will has been a real success story for us over the past year and a half.

“He’s a great example of a player who arrived on the fringes and, through hard work and dedication, has made sure that whenever he’s been given an opportunity, he’s taken it.

“He brings the sort of qualities that Gloucester supporters really appreciate, and he’s continuing to improve thanks to the quality of the coaches and players around him.

“He’s a good bloke with a great energy about him, and he’s a big part of the environment we’re building here. We have excellent competition in the back row, and that’s driving all of those players to keep improving and fight for starting spots, which is really exciting for us.”

England international Arthur Clark is expected to be the next member of the pack to ignore overtures from elsewhere and re-sign with Gloucester.
